Marnie's Class Blogs:
I embed the VoiceThread into a class blog so that there is a central place for visitor to go to view class work - one address rather than having separate addresses for VoiceThread, Movies, Photos etc.
I also prefer to use the blog option as visitors can write their comment on the blog rather than on the VoiceThread - this means the VoiceThread remains entirely as a snapshot of the children's work at a specific time and is not edited. This makes it easier to track student growth over time.
